Hassi Messaoud-Oued Irara Krim Belkacem Airport — Hassi Messaoud, Algeria

HME is Hassi Messaoud Airport, serving one of Algeria's most important oil-producing regions in the Sahara Desert. The airport exists primarily to support the petroleum industry, transporting workers, engineers, and equipment to and from the extensive oil fields surrounding Hassi Messaoud. Passenger traffic is dominated by industry personnel rather than tourists, given the town's function as an oil-camp settlement rather than a residential or cultural center. HME's desert location and industrial purpose make it one of the busier airports in Algeria by movements, despite lacking typical tourist infrastructure.
